Uneven front brake application. medium brake pressure energized right front only causing severe right steer. heavy brake pressure energized both front brakes only to leave left front brake locked. problem occured gradually and progressively worsened to danger level, especially on wet or loose surfaces. inspection determined the left front brake hose support clamp had been over compressed in manufacturing causing gradual compession of the inner hydraulic line to the point of virtual closure. the only flow possible was at elevated pressure and also preventing return flow causing severe and extended caliper clamping pressure. failed part is available for inspection. | |||
